It will be apparent that changes in the details ofconstruction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the in vention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages. 7

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is: v V

1. device of the class described comprising a core structure including a hollow shaft, means for mounting bristles thereon, said hollow shaft being apertured among the bristles, a second hollow shaft having an internal flange, a coupling connecting the hollow shafts, a valve seat formed at the end of the first hollow shaft in the coupling, a valve in said coupling between the valve seat and flange, a spring engaging the flange and the valve, a stem engaged with the valve and slidablev through the valve seat, and a plug at the other end of the first shaft, said stem being slidably mounted in said plug and extending therethrough, a base, a bearing on said base in which said second shaft is ournaled, acylinder over a portion of said second shaft, said portion of said second shaft being perforated, and means for connecting said cylind-er with a source of water. 2. A device of the class described comprisinga core structure including a hollow shaft, means for mounting bristles thereon, said hollow shaft being apertured among the bristles, a second hollow shaft having an internal flange, a coupling connecting the hollow shafts, a valve seat formed at the end of the first hollow shaft in the coupling, a valve in said coupling between the valve seat and i flange, a soring engaging the flange and the valve, a stem engaged with the valve and s'lidable through the valve seat, and a plug at the other end of the first shaft, said stem being slidably mounted in said plug and extending therethrough, a base, a-bearing on said base in which said second shaft is journaled, a cylinder over a portion of said second shaft, said portion of'said second shaft being perforated, andmeans' for connecting said cylinder with a source of water, a second bearing, a drive shaft journaled in said second bearing and extending into the cylinder, and means for coupling the drive shaft with the second mentioned shaft.

In testimonywhereof I aflix my si nature.
